REMARKS 


T HIS Catalogue introduces one of the most important collec¬ 
tions of books which has been offered the American public 
for years. The owner, Harold Peirce, of Philadelphia, has 
long been known among book collectors, as one always wil¬ 
ling to pay a fair price for any literary rarity, on condition 
that it be in the best possible state. Consequently, with this 
reputation, he has been able to accumulate a library which, for 
the field in literature it covers and the condition of the books 
(being nearly all in their original bindings, uncut), sur¬ 
passes any which has been sold for many years. It is im¬ 
possible for us to give a description, at this time, of the many 
literary rarities embraced in the collection, further than to state 
that it includes the finest set of the Kelmscott Press, ever 
offered at public sale, including many vellum and presentation 
copies from William Morris, the founder, as well as an unique 
collection of his published writings, manuscripts, and books from 
his library. A full set of the Doves Press, with all but one of 
the vellum copies; the Essex House Press, both paper and vellum, 
embracing both the Psalter and Prayerbook; the Vale Press, 
the Daniel Press ; the Ashendene Press ; the Ellston Press, and 
a general collection of the most important limited publications. 
Remarkable collections of the first editions of Ruskin, Rossetti, 
Swinburne, Tennyson, Keats, Shelley, Coleridge, Leigh Hunt, 
Lamb, Symonds, Byron, George Meredith, George Eliot, Dick¬ 
ens, Thackeray, etc.; also Bunyan’s Holy War, Goldsmith’s 
Vicar of Wakefield and Burton’s Anatomy of Melancholy. The 
long sets of standard English authors are the very best editions 
obtainable, whilst the General History and Biography is of the 
utmost importance. The Art Works include many of the most 
sumptuous published, and the collection of early printed books 
and works on Folk-lore, Astrology, Witchcraft and Fairy My¬ 
thology is one of the most important we have had the pleasure 
of cataloguing. 

This present Catalogue [Part I] embraces everything in the 
library which pertains to American History, among which will be 
found a complete set of the Grolier Club Publications, in original 
bindings, including one of the vellum copies (which are virtually 
unobtainable); practically a complete set of the publications of 
William Loring Andrews, including one of two untrimmed copies 
of New Amsterdam; the quarto edition of the Eulogy on Craw¬ 
ford, -which is considered unique ; Acrelius’ New Sweden, 1759; 
Beverley’s Virginia, 1705; Broadside of “The Gerry-mander,”

graph of Col. John Laurens) of Washinton’s Letter to De Grasse,

Fine copy of this rare book, with name of former owner on title, and manu¬ 
scripts notes throughout. The Swedish Colony and Mission on the Delaware, 
planted in 1638, under Oxenstiern, wrested by Stuyvesant of Manhattan and 
annexed to New Nederland in 1655, an< * swallowed up by the English in 1664, 6 C,} 
together with other Dutch possessions in America, was never really abandoned 
or forgotten by the parent state till 1791, when it had become permanently pro¬ 
vided for and protected as part of the great republic of the United States. The 
best history ®f it is this by Acrelius, born in 1714, died 1800, who wrote first¬ 
hand, having been provost over its three churches, and rector of the old Swedish 
church at Wilmington for seven years, 1749-1756. Besides his own collections 
and experience, he seems to have used judiciously all previous authors who had 
touched or written on the same subject.

THE GERRY MANDER 




A new species of Monster , which appeared in Essex South District in Jan. 1812. 



M 0 generation of Xivzuf 1 ttho hath warned you oj the wrath to come ?* 

THE horrid Monster of which this drawing is n cornet representation, nppeured in the CoonTy of Ran, dozing 
the last session of the l,egislarurc Various and manifold have bees the specula! ton* and ooiijrctutra, among learned 
iialurali%U re'p**cting the genui arid origin of this ad mushing production. Some believe it to he ibe led BniJnL , • errw- 
turc wliicli hid been *u.ipo-«*d to exist onlv io llie poet’* imagination. Others pronounce it the >erptnt Mottocephnhn 
n« Pliny, or singlc.hcadcJ H/dm, a terrible animal of pagan extraction. Many are of opinion that it is the Gnjf» oc 
Jbnp.tgriff o' romance, which flourished in tbrdaik ages, and has come hither to assist the knight of the rurtd coon re¬ 
in nee in restoring that gloomy perio I of ignorance, fiction aiul imposition. Some think it the great Red Dragon, or Huo- 
yiui’s Apolli/on or the Mouurum I/orrauhim of Virgil, and all believe il a creature of infernal origu.both froia its aspect, 
and from the circumstance of its birth. 

Cut the learned Doctor Water gruel who U famous for popping nuW the skirts of nature, has derided that it be¬ 
longs to the Salamander tribe, and gives many nlansiblc reasons Cor (tm opinion He uys though the Devil bim» ll' 
rtiu^l undoubtedly have been concerned, eitlicr directly or indirectly in the procreation of this monster, yet many powerful 
causes must have concurred to give it existence, amongst which must he reckoned the present combust tide awl venomous 
state.ofufiair9. There have hcen, (says the Doctor) many fiery ebullition* of party spirit, m my explosions of democratic 
Vralli and fulminationsof gubernatorial vengeance within the year past, which would naturally produce an uncommon de- 
grecof inflammation and acrimony in the body politic. I5ul as the Salamander cannot lie generated escejrt in the most 
lent degree of heat, he thinks Ibesr malignant causes, could not alone liave produced such diabolical effects, lie tb,rr<ore 
escribes the real birth aod material existence of this monster, in all its horrors, to the nUrm which his Excellency the 
Governor and his friends experienced last reason, while they were under the influence of the Dog-star and I lie lomd —ami 
tMiile his Excellency was pregnant with his last speech, hi* liuelloos message, and a numerous Idler of new judges au I 
oilier animals, of which he has since (seen happily delivered. Tin* Iright an. I purlurlxilioo was occasioned by an inrciulury 
Icier threatening hiui with fire-brands, arrows and death . (if li is proclamation is to be credited) which w is sent to him 
by some mischievous wight, probably some rogue of his own party, to try the strength of bis Excellency ’• mind. .Now 
hi* Excellency being somewhat like a tindcr-boru, and his arty very liable to lake fire, they must of course hive Iven 
thrown mtoa most fearful panic,extremely dangerous to | .-tsoiis iu their silunliou, and calculated to produce the most 
disastrous effects upon their unhoro progeny 

From those premises the sagacious Doctor most solemnly avers there ran I* no douht that this monster ua genuine 
Salamander, though by no means perfect in all its members ; a circumstance however which goes far In prove its illegiti¬ 
macy. Hut as this creature has Itcrn engendered anil brought hsrth under (he sublimes! auspices, he prnjionrt that a name 
should he given to it, exprcssivcof its genus, at the same time conveying an elegant and very appropriate compliment »u 
lits Excellency the Governor, wlio •* known to be the xealom patron and promoter of wh ticv«v i* new, a*»un<\hmg sad 
erratic, especially of domestic growth anJ manufacture. For theae reasons and other valuable commutations, rise Doctor 
has decreed that this monster shall be denominated a Gerry-ntnwler, a name that must exceedingly gratify the parent.d 
bosom of our worthy Chief Magistrate, nml prove so highly Haltering to hi* ambition, lli.-tl the Doctor may c.nifiihnHy 
fexpect iu return for bis ingenuity and Oddity, some benefits a little mole substantial than the common reward of virtue. 

That asslulc natoralist Lncricostus however in the 2fith sect ion of hi* invaluable note* upon the Salamander, cJearly 
shewn that this word is a corruption of the I.atiu Salununia, expressing the characteristic ihsbke and almost hydrophobic 
antipathy of that animal lor sea salt : ** Oweinge (to use the words of the author) to the projHTtie* nml t irtiio of the sayde 
“ mineralIc, ns is well kuowento mostr folke, in darupcingethc heat* of that demonic of lyre, wlrtwvui the sny de liensfe 
‘‘doth abide, so thut it a pu-ccofsalt, or any marine I binge be placed ncarcil, U dot hi* fret it v>rlv, and enrage it to mu b 
“ madness* thit it dothc incontinently throw from its moot lira venomous spittle, which i lot lie larmdie ami ill »noy nil tliat

“ it dotheahounde, not am ofiliis Liz trdo specie* hath Ihvi# di*«o-or.iblctlierryor." Wr iherHore propose, with llie ut¬ 
most deference to the ingenious Doc'or’s opinion, that the term (•< rry-n.amu tv sulistiluUd lor Gerry jnamler. as highly 
descriptive both of tlie singular ferocity of the monster in question, and the influence which the moon al certain period*, 
mute especially on tlieapproacb of April, is supposed to cicrt over it. 

A friend of ours has further suggested that there is a peculiar felicity al the present time in adopting the (em» 
Gerry-mnuui, us according to Ins definition, Gerry is derived from the French Guerre, or Ibe Italiao, Goerra, (war) aod 
tl«t tl therefore possesses the double advantage of expressing the characteristic ferocity of Um monster, and that iu.ign.ni- 
irnoiis rage lor war which to ha retaken such pooac«siota of our worthy Chief Magistrate and bis friend*. Hut we nans

794 Washington, George. Commander-in-Chief of the 
Continental Army. First President of the United States. 
Autograph letter, signed. 2 pages. 4to. Philadelphia, 30th 
Mar : 1796. Signed also by his Wife, Martha Wash¬ 
ington. To Tobias Tear. 


“ My dear Sir, 

“ Your former letters prepared us for the stroke, ■which that of the 25th in¬ 
stant announced ; but it has fallen heavily notwithstanding.— 

“It is the nature of humanity to mourn for the loss of our friends ; and the 
more we loved them, the more poignant is our grief.—It is part of the pre¬ 
cepts of religion and Philosophy, to consider the Dispensations of Provi¬ 
dence as wise, immutable, uncontroulable ; of course, that it is our duty to 
submit with as little repining, as the sensibility of our natures is capable of 
to all its decrees.—But nature will, notwithstanding, indulge, tor a while, its 
sorrows — 

“To say how much we loved, and esteemed our departed friend, is unneces¬ 
sary—She is now no more!—but she must be happy, because her virtue has a 
claim to it. 

“ As you talked of coming to this place on business, let us press you to do 
so.—The same room that serves Mr. Dandridge and Washington is large 
enough to receive a Bed also for you ; and it is needless to add, we shall be 
glad of your company.—The change may be servicable to you;—and if our 
wishes were ot any avail, They would induce you to make your stay here as 
long as your convenience would permit, 

“ At all times, and under all circumstances, we are, and ever shall remain, 
Your sincere and 

“ Affectionate friends 

“Geo Washington 
“ M Washington.”

Original Draft of Washington’s Letter, when before York- 
town, to Count de Grasse, begging his co-operation 

with his fleet. 

795 Washington, George. The Original Draft of his letter 
to Count de Grasse, in the handwriting of his Aide, John 
Laurens, with interlineations in the handwriting of George 
Washington. 4 pages. Folio. (Written Sept. 25th, 1781.) 

This is the original draftof Washington’s famous letter to Count De Grasse, 
written Sept. 25, 1781, It came from the papers of Henry Laurens, President 
of the Continental Congress. De Grasse with the French fleet was in the bay 
at the mouth of York River. Hearing that the British naval reinforcements 
had reached New York, he was anxious to leave the bay, fearing that he might 
be shut up in it. This letter of Washington’s persuaded him to give up that 





95 


plan, and no doubt was the prime factor in the victory at Yorktown, which 
soon followed. In this connection it is one of the most important letters 
which Washington ever wrote. It is not known where the letter is which 
was actually sent De Grasse, by the hands of Lafayette. It has probably been 
destroyed. The Department of State owns another draft, probably later than 
ihe one we here describe. This letter differs materially in the phraseology 
from the letter quoted in Spark’s Washington’s correspondence, and other 
places. In this draft are several inteiiineations and corrections in the hand¬ 
writing of Washington, and it is fair to presume that this is really the first 
draft of that interesting and important historical paper, and that Laurens 
made a corrected copy which we presume is the one owned by the Depart¬ 
ment of State, and that the one sent to De Grasse was a third revision, as all 
three differ somewhat !in the phraseology. The writer, Col. John Laurens 
was one of the Commissioners at the surrender of Yorktown. 

This letter is accompanied by a type-written copy of the letter received 
by De Grasse.

“That the second and seventh Virginia Regiments, with all the Convales¬

“ The unjust but determined Purpose of the British Court to enslave these

decisive conduct of these being impossible to distant numerous, and delibera¬

Dean Tucker and the War of Independence. 

a# 

798 Tuckbr, J. Dean of Gloucester, a. 1 . s. Folio. Glou¬ 
cester, Dec. 6, 1777. To Cadell the Bookseller. Accom¬ 
panied by broadside proposals for checking the rebellion in 
America. 2 pp. Folio. 

This valuable historical document and letter ‘ illustrates a scheme formu¬ 
lated by the Dean of Gloucester for subduing the revolting Colonies n Ameri- 
ica. The proposal commences “ Many attempts have been made of late Years, 
and are still making to subvert the happy Constitution of this Country, and 
to introduce something in its stead similar to those horrid Monsters called 
Congress, now, or lately tyranizing over America.And when all 



98 


Things had been laid level, then these desperate Projectors were to have 
tried their Strength to their own darling, but preposterous System of uni¬ 
versal Indepedence.” Etc. 

The letter commences; “ It is very probably from ye Accounts lately rec’d, 
wc’h are called bad news (but wc’h 1 esteem to be much better than any Vic¬ 
tories, or any Scheme of Reunion whatever) that Peoples will begin to think 
in good earnest, what they ought to have thought about ioo years ago , of a total 
Separation from America. Should this be ye case, it is probable That a De¬ 
mand for my last Pamplet may again revive.I do not mean to push 

fora subscription, Had I any such scheme in View I might more than have 
filled ye List in Bristol, But as ye Dissenters in genei'al are become Mad-Re- 
publicans [I use this Term, because a most respectable Person among ye Dis¬ 
senters assured me that this was ye Fact] I therefore sho’d have been glad of 
the names of some of the Gentlemen of that Denomination who remain un¬ 
tainted amidst ye general Infection of their Brethreu.” Etc. 

Note— Dean Tucker was the author of several pamphlets at the time of the 
American Revolution, advocating the most strenuous measure being taken to 
subdue the Colonists, and keep them under the British yoke. In this Proposal 
he advocates the scheme of reprinting some of his own pamphlets, and the 
fast sermons of Dr. Campbell, published in 1776 , on the Rebellion in America, 
and have them distributed in 100 parcels for the Colonies. To be distributed 
in Nova Scotia, East and West Florida, and more particularly in the Prov¬ 
inces of New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Maryland, with express 
instructions that four New England governments shall be amply supplied, 
etc.

“ O you should see me, how I look after sea-sailing.—I am swarthy and red 
as a Moor— I go around without any coat or vest—looking so strong, ugly and 
nonchalent, with my white beard—People stare, I notice, more wonderingly 


than ever, I believe I am getting more savage, as I grow older.—I find I less 
and less “ conform” .... 1 have thought, for some time past, of begin¬ 
ning the use of myself as a public speaker, teacher, or lecturer—fThis, after 
I get out the next issue of my •* Leaves.”) whether it will come to anything re¬

843 Monroe, James. Letter signed by Edmund Randolph 
to. 10 pages. 4to. Philadelphia, June 10, 1794. 

Important historical document,;belng the a instructions to Col. James Monroe, 
informing him that he had been nominated to succeed Gouverneur Morris, as 
Minister Plenipotentiary of the United States to the Republic of France, and 
conveying instructions for him, in Ailing that office. As the period was dur¬ 
ing the First French Republic, and during Washington’s Administration, 
The letter is of a necessity, full of historical data, some items of which we 
quote. 

“ The President (Washington) has been an early and decided friend of the 
French Revolution, and whatever reason there may have been, under our 
ignorance of Facts and policy, to suspend an opinion upon some of ^import¬ 
ant transactions; Yet is he immutable in his wishes for its accomplishment; 
incapable of assenting to the right o( any foreign prince to meddle with its 
interior arrangements, and persuaded that success will attend their efforts; 
and particularly that union among themselves is an impregnable barrier 

against external assaults,.We have pursued neutrality 

with faithfulness, we have paid more of our debt to France than was absolutely 
due, as the Secretary of the Treasury asserts, and we should have paid more, 
if the state of our affairs did not require us to be prepared with funds for the 

possible event of war,.You will he amply justiAed in repelling 

with Armness any imputation of the most distant intention to sacriAce our 

connection with France to any connection with England.The 

stories of Genet as to the royal medallions &c being exhibited in the Presi¬ 
dent’s room, and his giving private audiences to certain French emigres, are 
notoriously untrue, and if any insinuation should be made with regard to 
Mde La Fayette, so directly, as indispensably to call for an answer, it may 
be affirmed, that notwithstanding the warmest friendship, contracted between 
the President and him; in the most interesting scenes, notwithstanding the 
obligation of the United States to him, and the old prepossessions in his favor, 
the efforts of the President in his behalf have never gone further, than to ex - 
press a wish to the authority which held him in conAnement, that he should 

be liberated,.We are particularly concerned to understand the 

true state of the different sects of politics, Are there any of the old friends to 
the ancient regime remaining? .... Are the Brissotines extinguished? 
Are the Dantonists overwhelmed? Is Robespierre’s party Armly Axed ? . . 

. You will let it be seen, that in case of war, with any nation on earth, 
we shall consider France as our Arst and natural ally” &c 

844 Monroe, James. President of the United States and 

Minister to France. Autograph draft of his letter to the 

Secretary of State, January 26, 1796. 5 pp. 4to. SEE 

“ Monroe’s View,” page 305. 

An exceedingly interesting letter in reference to the affairs and doings of 
the French government. 

Silver Urn Owned by Dolley Madison. 

844 a Beautiful Solid Silver Antique Urnshaped Vase, 
with Handles and Lid. Beautifully engraved, and with the 
monogram ”M,” of President Madison, on side. A very 
handsome piece of workmanship, and evidently made in 
America during the latter part of the eighteenth century. 

The vase formerly belonged to Dolley Madison, wife of James Madison, the 
father of the Constitution and President of the United States, accompanied 
by sworn affidavit as to its genuineness, by an heir to the Madison estate.

Washington Memento. 

844 b White Cotton Napkin, with a reproduction of the 
anecdote of “Washington and the Cherry-tree” and with 
fifty-six lines of poetry on the subject. Printed in blue, 
and a Small White China Cup, with handle, decorated in 
blue, with the inscription, “ To Washington the Patriot of 
America,” on side. 

Probably unique. Made shortly after Washington’s death, as a present to 
a child. Very interesting, as the engravings at the top of napkin represents 
Washington’s father interrogating the youthful Washington as to who 
chopped the chetry tree. 

Dr. Benjamin Rush’s Pistols. 

844 c A Superb Pair of English Flint-lock Pocket 
Pistols, wdth all the necessary appurtenances for loading and 
cleaning, bullet mould, etc., in oak case. 

Belonged to Dr. Benjamin Rush, the signer of the Declaration of Independ¬ 
ence, accompanied by a certificate of genuineness, signed by a member of 
the family who inherited them. Aside from being a relic of Dr. Rush, they 
are choice specimens of flint-lock pistols, much finer than are usually met 
with. 

Pair Tucker China Washington Pitchers, Decorated with 
Miniatures by William Birch. 

844 d Two White Porcelain Pitchers, each decorated on 
one side with a beautiful miniature portrait of Genl. Wash¬ 
ington, in colors, by William Birch ; being fine reproduc¬ 
tions of the well-known portrait on ivory, which he painted 
from life. On the other side of each pitcher is a mountainous 
scene, in which is a flag pole, and an American flag floating 
therefrom. In front are eagles with outspread wings, the 
whole relieved with gilt decorations. 

We are safe in saying that these are the only two perfect Tucker Washington 
pitchers in existence, the only other known is much damaged, and in the 
Morris collection in the museum at Memorial Hall, Philadelphia. They were 
made in Philadelphia in the early part of the last century by William Ellis 
Tucker, in Philadelphia, and are of a quality of porcelain equal to the finest 
French, and are of the first porcelain manufactured in this country. Any 
specimens of this china are of great rarity. The purchaser can pride 
himself on owning two of the rarest pitchers in this country. 

Statuettes of Washington and Franklin. 

844 e Two Old French China Statuettes, in white, gold 
and colors ; being full-length figures of Genl. Washington 
and Benjamin Franklin, of early French make, about the 
middle of the latter half of the 18th century. Height, 
14^ inches. 

Very rare, and in perfect order. The only other copies known are in the 
possession of the Metropolitan Museum, New York, and Henry Whelen, Jr., 
of Philadelphia.

CHAP BOOKS. 


An interesting collection of books tor the amusement of children, all 
printed in the early part of the last century, many quite scarce, and all in 
immaculate condition. So little attention has been paid to these little books, 
which pleased the hearts of our mothers and fathers, that it is a rare occur- 
rence for us to meet with any of them, and when we do come across them, 
they are generally in a dilapidated condition.

This is not one of the regular pigskin copies; it was originally in half- 
holland. Mr. Peirce had Oobden-Sanderson rebind it in pigskin, after the 
same style as those bound under Mr. Morris’s order from his own designs, 
and as this was a special order, more care was exercised in the embossing, 
with the result of a much handsomer specimen of binding than any of the 
forty-eight copies mentioned in “ Note by William Morris,” page 47. 

Presentation copy from William Morris to Kate Faulkner, the 
sister of his old college friend and business partner, with the 
signed autograph inscription, dated July 7, 1896.

William Morris’s Own Proofs of the Woodcuts Designed

& 00 -* 


These woodcuts were mounted and framed under the superin¬ 
tendence of William Morris for himself , and hung in the office 
of the Kelmscott Press. They were sold to Mr. Peirce by his 
widow. Neither of the other two sets was selected with the 
same care as Mr. Morris used in selecting these. 

Of these proofs there are not over three sets In existence, and the others, 
unlike these, are in many cases on thin paper, and not quite uniform. These 
are all on thick paper and uniform. One of the sets is owned in England. 
The other was bought by Mr. Peirce for Carl Edelheim, at the time he bought 
his. Mr. Edelheim’s set was bought by a friend of Mr. Peirce’s at his sugges¬ 
tion, and is quite likely it will never be sold.

collectors , and three of the 32 in museums, and the others in 
the hands of private friends, is evidence enough of its rarity. " 

It was the intention ot Mr. Morris to print Froissart’s Chronicles, but after 
several attempts the project was abandoned Nov. 12,1896. At that time about 
thirty-four pages were in type, but no sheets had been printed. Before the 
type was broken up, on Dec. 24, 1896, thirty-two copies of sixteen of these 
pages were printed and given as mementos to personal friends of the poet 
and printer, whose death now made the completion of the book impossible.

Of this Mr. Cockerell says, “ This is o?ie of 32 copies in the 
world , and many more than that number of collectors, a?id three 
of the 32 copies in museums; and the others in the hands of 
private friends, is evidence enough of its rarity.' ’ 

One of thirty-two copies ot “Sigurd the Volsung,” which were struck off on 
January 11, 1897, and presented to friends with the sixteen pages of Froissart, 
(described under lot 203). This specimen is the style in which Mr. Morris in¬ 
tended to publish it, but which was materially altered in the published book.

be photographed or reproduced in any form. This set Mr. 
Peirce obtained from Mrs. Morris under this stipulation. We 
believe only one set has heretofore been sold. 

Of these engravings Mr. Cockerell says, “ As early as 1866 an edition of The 
Earthly Paradise was projected, which was to have been a folio in double col¬ 
umns, profusely illustrated by Sir Edward Burne-Jones, and typographically 
superior to the books of that time. The designs for the stories of Cupid any 
Psyche, Pygmalion and the Image, The King given to Venus, and The Hill of- 
Venus, were finished, and forty-four of those for Cupid and Psyche were en¬ 
graved on wood in line, somewhat in the manner of the early German mas¬ 
ters. About thirty-five of the blocks were executed by William Morris himself 
& the remainder by George Y. Wardle, G. F. Campfield, C. J. Faulkner and 
Miss Elizabeth Burden. Specimen pages were set up in Calston type, and in 
the Chiswick Press type afterwards used in The House of the Wolflngs, but 
for various reasons the project went no further.” These engravings include 
the side ornaments, three of which appear on page 9, in Cockerell’s description 
of the Kelmscott Press.

“ Toward the end of Mr. Morris’s life, he printed at the Kelmscott Press, 
the carol, Good King Wencklas, which begins with a lusty freshness. 

“ Good King Wencelas look’d out, 

On the feast of Stephen, 

When the snow lay round about, 

Deep and crisp and even, 

Brightly shone the moon that night, 

Though the frost was cruel, 

When a poor man came in sight, 

Gathering winter fuel. 

“ The legend itself,” he comments, “ is a pleasing and genuine one, and the 
Christmas-like quality of it, recalling the times of my boyhood, appeals to 
me at least as a memory of past days Cary’s William Morris.

380 The Scythian Guest. A Poem. By John Ruskin. 
Small 4to, original lettered paper covers, uncut. 

1849. (Printed for the Author.) 

An extremely rare and early printed volume, unknown to Mr. Wise when 
he began his elaborate Ruskin bibliography, but included in an addenda. It 
is quite likely it preceded the “ Seven Lamps ” published also in 1849, and if 
so, it is the author’s second book.

The Seven Lamps of Architecture. By John Ruskin. 
With illustrations , drawn and etched by the author. 

Imperial 8vo, original cloth, uncut. 

London: Smith, Elder & Co., 1849 

First Edition. 

Poems. J. R. 

i2mo, original green cloth, gilt lyre stamped on side, gilt 
edge. Collected, 1850 

This little volume was not published, but merely printed for private circu¬ 
lation, and has now become the rara avis of Ruskin literature. All the poems 
contained in the volume were written between the age of 14 and 28, and at the 
head of each poem is given the author’s age. 

This copy is of particular interest , as it bears the inscription 
in the autograph of the author s father , “ From the Authors 
Father to his Beloved Daughter in Law on her Birth day Jth 
May , 1850,” which justify the belief that the volume was 
printed at the expense of Ruskin's father , who presented the 
first copy to his daughter-in-law , who afterwards became the 
wife of Sir fohn E. Millais. This volume also contains the 
bookplate of fohn Ruskin.

LETTERS FROM JOHN RUSKIN. 



493A Ruskin, John. Autograph Letter, signed. 4 pp. 8vo. 
About February, 1855. To Dante Gabriel Rossetti. 

An exceedingly interesting letter, rather severely criticising Mr. Cayley’s 
translation of Dante’s Poems, more as a piece of advice to Rossetti, as he 
says : “ I write this for you only, because I think & as your taste is unformed 
in verse, & so that the thought be good you have not euough studied modes of 

expression.Please give the enclosed to your brother.1 

want you both to come and dine with us.” Etc. 



493B Ruskin, John. 
About May, 1855. 


Autograph Letter, signed. 
To Dante Gabriel Rossetti. 


Folio. 


“ l want you to do me a troublesomest favour, to come out next Saturday 
& sit down, to make out for me as well as you can what certain colours are 
that Turner uses, & how they have been laid on. Come out as early as you 
can & lunch Meantime.” Etc.

tr* 493 c Ruskin, John. Autograph Letter, signed. 8vo. Cor- 

pus Christi College, Oxford, 29th April, 1875. 

“ My dear Ralston. I am indeed grieved at the contents of your letter, and 
yet partly triumphant, in hearing of an English gentleman who resigns him¬ 
self to live on so narrow an income, further diminished by duty to relations, 
I wish you would teach me to do the same,—it seems to me more distinctly 
every day as if that it may become my own duty to live at least on as little as 
I can, if I would enforce simplicity of life on others.” 

cp 493D Ruskin, John. Autograph Letter, signed. 3 pp. 8vo. 

Brantwood, 30th March, 1887. To Theodore Bull. With 
addressed stamped envelope. 

“I am deeply interested by your letter, but your comfortless feelings are 
entirely morbid, and probably in great part the consequence of overfatigue. 

No one has any complicity in-unless we take shares in them ; nor in any 

other evil in the world unless we are hindered by some cowardice from speak¬ 
ing our mind about it when we are asked. I speak mine unasked, because 
people attribute me and I rather pride myself in. some gift of speech—but for 
most sensible people, the proper way is to lead the comfortablest useful (or 
harmless) lives they can, & let the world wag. As for resisting its present 
rage of lust and avarice—you might as well try to stop a prairie fire. All you 
can do is escape to the mountain, lest thou be consumed.” 

This letter is signed in full “ John Ruskinwhich is very 
unusual.

Woolner, Ford Madox Brown, W. B. Scott, and Coventry Patmore.

Rossetti, Dante Gabriel. Autograph Poem in Blank 
Verse, of fourteen lines, entitled “ Raleigh’s Cell in the 
Tower.” 4 to. Written about 1880 . 


“ Here writ was the World’s History by his hand 
Whose steps knew all the earth; albeit his world 
In these few piteous paces then was furl’d 
Here daily, hourly, have his proud feet spann’d 
This smaller speck than the receding land 
Had ever shown his ships ; what time he hurl’d 
Abroad o’er new-found visions spiced and pearl’d 
His country’s high dominion and command. 


" Here dwelt two spheres. The vast terrestrial zone 
His spirit traversed, and that spirit was 
Itself the Zone celestial, toward whose birth 
The planets played within the zodiac’s girth : 

Till hence through unjust death unfeared, did pass 
His spirit to the only land unknown.”

“ For the whole of the last week I have been afflicted with a return of my 

old atrocious boils.I have been for days in a state of considerable 

exhilei’ation. Not long ago, I sent some poems of mine to Leigh Hunt, re¬ 
questing him to read them and tell me if they were worth anything. His 
answer is so flattering that I cannot quote any part of it, lest it should seem 
like conceit. Moreover he requests me, as soon as he has moved into another 
house (by reason of which removal he is at present in some bustle & confusion) 
to give him the pleasure of my acquaintance.!!!! ” Etc.

TENNYSONIANA. 

Tennyson, Alfred, Lord. Autograph Letter, signed. 
2 pp. Farringford, Dec. 19, 1856. To Richard Doyl. 

With cabinet portrait. 

“ My dear Doyle 

“ Simeon brought me the other day your landskip or Seaskip for it is both, 
Did I beg it, as your letter seems to imply ? it was very shameful in me never¬ 
theless I cannot be very repentent seeing that 1 have got it & that we are both 
so much pleased with it, I am not sure that I shall not send you an engraving 
done from it one of these day, that is if you will permit me to have it en¬ 
graved, there are first however three separate distances of the downs that I 
shall get you to put in next time you are here & we hope that may be very 
soon. Raster at the latest if all be well with us, we have some compunction 
in asking any one not an American to come on so arduous a journey in win¬ 
ter.” 

Fine specimen. 


Tennyson. - Timbuctoo. — Prolusiones Academic* 

Prsemiis Annuis Dignatae et in curia Cantabrigiensi, Re- 
citatae Comitiis Maximis A.D. M.DCCC.XXIX.—Second 
Title is as follows: Timbuctoo. A Poem, which obtained 
The Chancellor’s Medal at the Cambridge Commencement 
M.DCCC.XXIX. By A. Tennyson, of Trinity College. 

8vo, original paper covers, uncut. 

Cantabrigiae, Typis Academicis Excudit Joannas Smith. 

The exceedingly rare First Edition. The poem was never reprinted by the 
author, but three or four scattered lines of it appear in the “ Ode to Memory” 
(1830) and in “The Lover’s Tale ” (1838). Arthur Hallam was one of the unsuc¬ 
cessful competitors lor this prize, and Thackeray, then also at Trinity, ridi¬ 
culed the choice of subject. The Anthenaeum Journal had the courage and 
the foresight to sound a trumpet-note of praise, heralding the advent of a 
new poet. This pamphlet also contains poems in Latin, Greek and English, 
by Charles Merivale and C. R. Kennedy.

Tennyson. Poems. MDCCCXXX, MDCCCXXXIII. 
161110, original blue paper covers, uncut. 

Privately printed, 1862 

“ This is Hotten’s pirated volume, said by Mr. Wise to have been edited by 
J. Dykes Campbell, and to have been printed in the island of Mauritius ; 
Shepherd says he ‘ never saw a copy,’ and that he did not know its contents. 
It contains all of Tennyson’s poems printed in the 1830 and 1833 volumes, 
which were suppressed in the 1842 edition. * * * In Hotten’s catalogue of 
1862 he says, ‘ the lost poems of the Poet Laureate.’ These are choice poems 
that have been dropped or thrown aside by the poet. * * * They have been 
collected with considerable care and labor by a gentleman of great literary 
taste, in western Canada. * * * * * It is understood that only an exceed¬ 
ingly limited number of copies have been taken off, most creditably in point 
of workmanship at the Backwood’s Press.”

The poem is printed on a four page leaflet, and is so rare, that it has missed

REMARKS. 


I T was Mr. Peirce’s intention to gather together a collection of 
the First Editions of English and American Authors, in their 
original bindings, and in uncut conditions. Although 
unable to fully carry out this intention, still he has been success¬ 
ful in obtaining many of the rarest books, in unique con¬ 
dition. Many of the various departments could have been made 
more complete had he consented to accept rebound copies. 
These he invariably rejected, and would only accept such as were 
in the condition as issued by the publishers, presentation copies, 
or from the libraries of noted men. The consequence is that 
herein is gathered and enumerated one of the most important 
collections offered the American public, as to condition. 

The English Authors include all the favorite writers, from the 
Coverdale New Testament to the writings of Stephen Phillips 
and Andrew Lang, embracing a collection of the editions of 
Fitzgerald’s Rubaiyat ; while the American Authors, com¬ 
mence with Philip Freneau, and end with Eugene Field and Bret 
Harte. Interspersed will be found many important Autograph 
Manuscripts and Letters of the most prominent authors of 
Europe and America. 

Through the courtesy of Mr. Peirce, I have placed in this 
Catalogue the unique collection of Original Manuscripts by, and 
First Editions of the Works of, Edgar Allan Poe, belonging to 
Mr. William Nelson, of Paterson, N. J. 

There will also be found quite a number of the publications 
of the Doves Press, Vale Press and Essex House Press, which 
are duplicates from Mr. Pierce’s Library.

JToo ^ 102 Bunyan, John. The Holy War. Made by Shaddai 
upon Diabolus, For the Regaining of the Metropolis of the 
World; or, The Rosing and Taking Again of the Town of 
Mansoul. By John Bunyan, the author of the Pilgrim’s 
Progress. Fine portrait engraved by R. White. 

8vo, original old calf, repaired (slightly cracked). 

London: Printed for Dorman Newman at the King’s 
Arms in the Poultry; and Benjamin Alsop at the Angel 
and Bible in the Poultry, 1682. 

First Edition, and of excessive rarity. A line, clean copy, two leaves are 
slightly defective on margin caused by imperfection in the paper, and in the 
margin of page 233 is a small hole, and the margin of page 29 has been mended. 
The book is rarely found with the portrait. At the end is the leaf entitled “An 
Advertisement to the Reader,” which is in verse, and speaks of doubts which 
had been expressed as to Bunyan’s authorship of the “ Pilgrim’s Progress,” 
in it he says: 

“ It came from mine own heart, so to my head, 

And thence into my fingers trickled : 

Then to my pen, from whence immediately 
On paper I did dribble it daintly. 

Manner and matter too was all mine own, 

Nor was it unto any mortal known, 

• Till I had done it ” etc. 

Next to the Pilgrim’s Progress this is the most interesting work by John 
Bunyan. See Facsimile of Title.

The First Edition of Byron’s Vision of Judgment in hook form. Exceed¬

second edition of this number of “The Liberal” wa9 issued in the same year 
very shortly after the first edition, and contained for the first time a prose 
Preface, written by Byron, to his Vision of Judginent. The volume which is 
here offered must have been printed immediately upon the appearance of the 
first issue of No. 1 of “ The Liberal,” for it does not contain Byron’s prose 
Preface.

Manuscripts and Letter of Samuel T. Coleridge. 

141 Coleridge (Samuel Taylor). Autograph Manuscript 
of a Poem “ The Raven.” 42 lines on 3 pages. 4to. Signed 
with initials. 

“The Raven” appeared in print first in the Morning Post of Mai'ch 10,1798, 
where it was published anonymously with the tollowing prefatory note, signed 
“Cuddy.” 

“I am not absolutely certain that the following Poem was written by 

Edmund Spenser, and found by an Angler buried in a fishing-box. 

but a learned Antiquarian of my acquaintance has given it as his opinion that 
it resembles Spenser's minor Poems as nearly as Vortigern and Kowena the 
Tragedies of William Shakespeare,” etc. 

This manuscript differs slightly from the earliest issue as printed in the 
Morning Post, but differs very materially in parts from the version as finally 
included in the collected works. It is undoubtedly early, probably about 1800 

“Beneath a goodly old Oak-tree 
There was of swine a large company. 

They were making a rude repast 
Grunting as they crunched the mast, 

Then they trotted away, for the wind grew high, 

One acorn they left & no more mote you spy. 

But soon came a Raven, who lik’d not such folly— 

He belong’d, I believe, to the Witch Melancholy! 

Blacker was he than blackest jet, 

Flew low in the rain, his feathers wer - e wet, 

He picked up the acorn & buried it strait 
By the side of a river both deep and great.” Etc. 

142 Coleridge, Samuel Taylor. Autograph Letter, signed. 
2 pp. 4to. N. D. To C. A. Tulk, with address. 

Fine specimen. “Schelling is the Head and Founder of a philosophic Sect 
entitled Natur-philosopher, or Philosopher of Nature. He is beyond doubt a 
Man of Genius, and by the revival and more extensive application of the Law 
of Polarity (i. e., that every Power manifests itself by opposite Forces) and by 
the reduction of all Phenomena to the three forms of Magnetism, Electricity 
and Constructive Galvanism, or the Powers of Length, Breadth and Depth, his 
system is extremely plausible and alluring at a first acquaintance and as far 
as the attack on the mechanic and corpuscular Philosophy extend, his works, 
possess a permanent value. But as a System it is little more than Behmenism.” 
Etc.

George Eliot’s Manuscript Music Book. 

'QZS 175 Eliot, George. (Mary Anne Evans) her Manuscript 
Music Book when at Miss Franklin’s School, 1835. She 
entered the school in her 13th year, remained there until her 
16th, leaving at Christmas, 1835. The Manuscript consists 
of 54 pages, 36 of which contain Exercises, Major and 
Minor Chords, etc. The remainder is composed of 2 Pieces, 
and 8 Songs, the words of which are neatly written, and 
consist of, “ Beautiful Spring,” ‘‘The Better Land,” “ Lass 
of Gowrie,” ” Wandering Willie,” “The Birks of Aber- 
feldie,” ‘‘Goosy Goosy Gander,” “ See Saw Margery Daw,” 
and “ Hot Cross Buns.” In one volume. 4I0, half bound. 

This is probably the earliest manuscript of “George Eliot'* 
known. When writing the Life , her husband, Mr. Cross , was 
unable to discover any letters previous to fanuary 6, 1836. Her 
name appeals on the fly-leaf ‘ "Mary Anne Evans."

2 vols. i2mo, original calf, enclosed in brown crushed

Salisbury: Printed by B. Collins for F. Newberry, 1766 


11 The excessively rare first edition of one of the most delight¬ 
ful works in the English language, and is perhaps the most 
eagerly sought after book published during the 18th century. 
The demand steadily increases, and the book will probably, in 
the course of a few yea? r s, fetch double what it now brings at 
auction, for very few books indeed, appeal so endearingly to an 
English-speaking collector for a place on his bookshelves as the 
homely ‘ Vicar. ’ ’ ’ From the F. W. French sale, with book¬ 
plate loosely laid in.

The very rare first issue. The imprint reads: *• Printed by J. Archdeacon, 
Printer to the University,” and it is doubtful that the book was regularly 
published for sale. 


This copy is as crisp and clean as when issued, and is preserved in a hand¬ 
some crushed levant morocco case, sides elaborately tooled in gold, inside 
gold borders, watered silk linings, with morocco flaps, etc. 

The Duke of Grafton obtained for Gray, in 1768, the Chair of Knglish Litera¬

tation,” wrote this celebrated ode in the following year, in honor of Grafton’s 
installation as Chancellor of the University.

A home-stead church, & pastoral vallies, 

And mountains green of gentle might 
Luring ascent with leafy allies.” Etc.

Hammersmith, Sept. 8 (1854). To Benjamin Morgan.

the Bickley’s were well aware, up to a late period, of the existence of rela 
tions.” Etc.

First Edition. Size, 8%x5% inches, being \4 inch taller than the Foote copy. 
Exceedingly scarce. This is evidently one of the very first copies, as the page 
of erratum is for only one correction ; it also has the slip containing the “ Er,

fact alone, differing as It does from both the Arnold and Foote copies, it may 
be unique.

Greenaway and another by Caldecott. These large-paper copies are exceed¬

which are on India paper, there is inserted in this copy a proof of the Calde¬ 
cott illustration, differing in design from the original illustration. The 
author objected to the feather in the girl’s hat in the frontispiece, and the 
plate was therefore re-engraved, the feather being eliminated. A few proofs 
of the plate in its altered state were then struck off, one of which is inserted 
in this copy. Only fifty copies of the book were printed, and it is stated in 
the French Catalogue that only six copies had the Caldecott plate in both

“ March ! nor heed these arms that hold thee, 

Though so fond they round thee come, 

Fonder still shall they enfold thee, 

When thou bring’st fresh laurels home. 

Dost thou dote on woman’s brow ? 

Dost thou live but in her breath? 

March ! one hour of victory now, 

Wins the woman’s smile till death. 

“ Think that bliss, when war is over, 

Beauty’s long-miss’d smile to meet 
Beaming glory. While her lover 
Lays his trophies at her feet. 

Who would not, that hour to reach, 

Breathe out life’s expiring sigh, 

Proud as waves that on the beach 
Lay their war-crest down and die. 

“ There ! I see thy soul is burning 
She herself, who clasps thee so 
Paints even now, glad re-turning 
And, while clasping, bids thee go. 

One deep sigh to passion giv’n 
One last burning tear and then 
March ! nor rest thy sword, till Heaven 
Brings thee to these arms again.”

strengthens and purifies.” Autograph Letter, signed. 3 pp. 
Svo. Jan. 10, 1855. To Dante Gabriel Rossetti. 

“ I hope the translation of the Early Italian Poets is coming out soon. It is 
a book I long to have in my hands.” Patmore then proposes that Rossetti 
should give similar selections from the Minnesingers, and the early French 
love-singers. “ The Italian are the most intense and thoughtful, the Ger¬ 
man the tenderest and homeliest, the French the most bright and joyful.” 
Etc.

rediculously call Pilpay, are the most beautiful, if not the most ancient, in 
the world.” This Latin version was made by John de Capua, from the 
Hebrew, between 1202 and 1278, and is the parent of all European translations.

368 Piozzi, Hesther L. Autograph Letter, signed with

“If Dear Sir James Fellowes still continues under Discipline. This Anec¬ 
dote of Hogarth & of his little Friend may amuse him. 

“ My Father & he were very intimate, & he often dined with us, One Day 
he had done so, my Aunt and a Groupe of Young Cousins Came in the After¬ 
noon . . . Evenings were earlier Things than they are now, & 3 o’clock the 

common Dinner Hour, I had got a then new Thing I suppose, which was 
called Game of the Goose, and felt earnest that we children might be allow’d 
around Table to play at it, but was half afraid of my Uncles & my Father’s 
grave Looks. Hogarth said good huinouredly 1 will come My dears & play at it 
with you, our Joy was great, & The Sport began under my Management and 
Direction. The Pool rose to Five Shillings, a Fortune to us Monkeys; and 
when 1 won it—1 caper’d for Delight. 

“ But the next time we went to Leicester Fields Mr. Hogarth was painting, 
& bid me Set to him.—and now look here said he I am doing this for you . . 
you are not 14 years old yet I think, but you will be 24; & This Portrait will 
then be like you. ’Tis the Lady’s last Stake. . . See how she hesitates be¬ 
tween her Money and his Honour, Take you care, I see an Ardour for Play in 
your Eyes & in your heart,—don’t indulge it, I shall give you this Picture as 
a warning because \ love you now, You are so good a Girl” Etc.

Dear Sir James Fellowes will see as he has already often felt. What a wretched

To those Inhabitants of the Regality of Melrose , who offered , or proposed to offer, 
their services to form a Corps of Ma rksmen under Mr Walter Scott of Abbots ¬ 
ford. 

The unfortunate circumstances which, about two months since, made it neces¬ 
sary that each good man and loyal subject should come forward to shew his at¬ 
tachment to the King, Laws, and Government under which we and our fathers 
have long enjoyed peace and freedom, have, through the wise measures of Par¬ 
liament, in a great measure disappeared. We are not at present, and I trust will 
never again be placed, under the painful necessity of assuming arms, not for the 
purpose of repelling foreign invasion, but for the much more painful task of com¬ 
bating the misguided violence of our fellow-subjects. Confiding, as I do, in the 
good sense and good principles of our countrymen, I hope and trust that such a 
call will not again disturb the course of our peaceful occupations. It is, however, 
too evident that, but for the spirit shewn by the natives of Scotland in general, 
and let me say, my good neighbours, by none more readily than yourselves, we 
might by this time have been placed amidst the terrors of a civil war.—For my¬ 
self, I can only say, that the feelings of gratitude towards those individuals who 
have on this momentous crisis offered me their support, are in proportion to the 
confidence they have shewn themselves willing to repose in me. I could only 
have endeavoured by the utmost attention and assiduity to have supplied the 
want of personal activity ; but from what I know of the gentlemen who so hand¬ 
somely agreed to act as officers, as well as of your own spirit and zeal, I think I 
might have boasted that I would have been the only inefficient man in the pro¬ 
posed corps. 

May that happy state of society long subsist among us which binds its differ¬ 
ent classes together by good will, mutual attachment, and reciprocal kind offices ! 
I trust our intercourse will be long peaceful: but should it unfortunately prove 
otherwise, this distinguished proof of your kindness and confidence encourages me 
to hope, that, if an emergency similar to the late crisis should occur, while I am 
able to get on horseback, I will not want the backing of my neighbours in the 
Regality. 

It is, perhaps, valuing my thanks at more than they are worth to express them 
in this manner. But as I could not have an opportunity of paying them to each 
individual in person, I had rather that others should think me vain, than that you 
should believe me unthankful

of others, the only legitimate continuation of the Kelmscott

” Leigh S. Lynch.” With addressed envelope. 

“ There are happenings in life that are destined to rise, 

Like dear, hallowed visions before a mans eyes, 

And the passage of years shall not dim in the least 
The glory and joy of our Sabbath-day feast— 

The Sabbath-day luncheon that’s spread for us three, 

My worthy companions, Teresa and Leigh, 

And me, all so hungry for crumpets and tea.” Etc.

715 Field, Eugene: Autograph Poem. “The Waistcoat.” 
Signed. May, 1892. 

“ Of waistcoats there are divers kinds, from those severely chaste 
To those with fancy color bright or with fair figures traced; 

Those that are high as liver-pads, as chest-protectors serve, 

While others proudly sweep away in substomachic curve, 

But the grandest thing in waistcoats in this great and wondrous west 
Is that which folk are wont to call the Will J. Davis vest.” 



Field, Eugene. Autograph Poem and Music, entitled 
“ Love’s Delight.” 4to. Nov. 19, 1888. 

Kat e and unique specimen, asking for a box at the theatre. 

“ Dear Stevens, will you me, de-light—de-.light 
By letting me have a Box for to-night? 

Box for to-night—to-night—box—to-night! ”

^810 Holmes, Oliver Wendell. Autograph Letter and a 
Poem of Two Verses, entitled “The Pilgrim’s Vision.” 
Signed. 2 pp. 4to. Boston, January 14, 1846 

Printers devils, with their little smutty thumbs, make more havoc with 
poets’ manuscripts than canker worms upon the leaves of the elm,” * * * 
on the next page you will tied a lew lines from a poem called the Pilgrim’s 
Vision, lately read at the anniversary celebration at Plymouth. 

“ The weary Pilgrim slumbers 
His resting place unknown. 

His hands were crossed, his lids were closed 
The dust was o’er him strown 
The drifting soil, the mouldering leaf 
Along the sod were blown 
His mound has melted into earth, 

His memory lives alone.” Etc. 

811 Holmes, Oliver Wendell. Autograth Letter, signed. 
2 pp. 8vo. Boston, March 15, i860. 

I received yesterday your interesting letter, and shall at once transmit it to 
the Editors of the Atlantic Monthly. Although I have been the largest con¬ 
tributor to that Magazine, having written in every number, and having my¬ 
self given it its name, 1 have never had any connection whatever with edit¬ 
ing it.” Etc. 

2 Holmes, Oliver Wendell. Autograph Letter, signed. 
8vo. 2 pp. Boston, January 16, 1878. 

1 have this day received the copy of the Halleck Memorial Volume which 
you have kindly sent to me. I have read the accounts in the paper, of 
course, but I found much in the Volume which was new to me.” Etc. 





Holmes, Oliver Wendell. Autograph Letter, signed. 
Boston, October 18, 1874. To Messrs. Welsh and Bigelow. 

“ If not too late, I should like to have one word added to the “Contents” 
on p. x. I should prefer instead of “ Shakespeare,” to have it read Shake¬ 
speare Tercentennial. If this change can be made, well, if not, I shall not 
be greatly troubled.” 



Holmes, Oliver Wendell. Autograph Letter, signed. 
2 pp. 8vo. Boston, January 21, 1856. 

“ 1 hasten to thank you for the paper.” I hope there is nothing sour 
enough about me to turn it red with shame, or wrath when 1 loot at it. In¬ 
deed 1 observe I have had the honor of staining a leaf or two of it for you, 
myself, I thought these blushed a little when 1 looked at them—perhaps it 
was only the reflection of my own cheeks coloring at the unexpected honor 
the verses had obtained.” Etc.

“ Your recollection of Emerson interested me very much, but there is a slip 
of memory which Mr. Conway should have corrected, you make Emerson, 
speak of Browning in 1S33. This must be wrong. I think, for Pauline , B’s tirst 
poem was not published till that year and attracted very little attention.”

Returning a Pair of Sleeve Buttons, Loaned him by Philip

Smalley explaining the same. 


“ Dear Phillip, I would win no cent 
By ways other than innocent, 

If the morn bring dejection, 

’T brings also reflection, 

And your penitent buttons, 

Like Bopeep’s stray muttons, 
Their vagaries finished, 

Come back undiminished.”

“The history of the last tew days of his life is known to no one so well as to 
myself and is of touching & melancholy interest, . . . I think I can demon¬ 
strate that he passed, by a single indulgence, from a condition of perfect 
sobriety, to one bordering upon the madness usually occasioned only by long 
continued intoxication, and that he is intitled to a far more favorable judg¬ 
ment upon his last hours than he has received. ... I have opened his 
trunk & find it to contained few manuscripts of value. The chief of them is 
a lecture upon the politic principle, & some paragraphs prepared apparently, 
for some literary souvenir. There are however, a number of books, his 
own works, which are full of corrections by his own hand.” Etc.

Original Manuscript of “ The Bells.” 


S/oo.

-957 


Poe, Edgar A. The Bells. 
of this Famous Poem. 


The Original Manuscript 


It is written in the usual mannerot Poe's long manuscripts, on slips of blue 
writing paper, pasted on, alter another, so as to form a long roll. For more 
convenient perservation it has been for many years folded flat. Opened out, 
it forms a continuous sheet, S inches wide and 37% inches long. It lacks the 
last fourteen lines of the poem as finally printed, but it does not look as if 
those lines ever formed part of this sheet. It will be remembered that this 
poem was “built up,” having but eighteen lines as first sent to Sartain’s 
Magazine, then (six months laten enlarged and altered to near its final form, 
and about three months later the author sent in another alteration and en- 
largment, in which condition the poem was left at ihe time of his death. The 
Manuscript now offered—which is the final one sent to Sartain’s—shows several 
alterations made by Poe, in his own handwriting. For example, in the fourth 
stanza, the 8th line reads 


“ From out their ghostly throats,” 
which has been changed in the manuscript to 

“ From the rust within their throats.” 


In the same stanza, a repulsive line (the nineteenth) appears : 

“They are pestilential carcases disparted from their souls,” 
which was eliminated in the proof. There are other changes in the manu¬ 
script, showing the pains the author took in polishing his work to the last 
moment before sending it to the printer. A very good account of this manu¬ 
script is given in Gill’s Life ot Poe, pages 206 8, with a facsimile of the last 
twenty-four lines, which is also reproduced in the Amontillado edition of 
Poe’s Works, Vol. 1., opposite page 324. A facsimile ot the first stanza, never 
before reproduced, is given herewith. 

It is unnecessary to speak of the extraordinary interest of this Manuscript. 
Next to “ The Raven,” Poe’s “ Bells ” is his most famous poem, and by far the 
most popular of all. The Manuscript of the former is not known to exist, so 
that this is the most important Manuscript of any of his poems. 


163 


Poe’s Manuscript of “For Annie.” 



Poe, Edgar A. “For Annie.” 
in Poe’s own autograph. 


The Complete Poem, 


It is not written in the form of a roll, but on a sheet of commercial letter 
paper in double columns on the first page, and in one column on the verso. 
Ibis shows that it was not the copy for the printer. In the printed version 
he punctuation has been changed throughout, commas being substituted for 
dashes, as a rule ; the fifth and sixth stanzas being transposed, the lines fre¬ 
quently changed to make the number of feet in each more even, several 
words have been altered, as “Passion” for "Glory,” in the fifth stanza as 
pi in e . A together, the indications are that this was an original draft of the 
poem, which the author carried about in his pocketbook (see folds) for some 
time, until he made a Anal revision for the press. The latter copy is not 
Known to exist. A facsimile of six stanzas on the upper half of the first page 
of the manuscript is reproduced herewith. 


In the opinion of many readers of Poe, he never wrote anything finer than 
this exquisitely tender poem, " For Annie.” lie himself said: “ I think the 
lines ‘ r or Annie,’ much the best 1 have ever written.” 


An Unpublished Manuscript Poem, by Poe. 



Poe, Edgar A. Elizabeth. An Acrostic, spelling the 
name Elizabeth Rebecca, dedicating an “Autograph Album’’ 
of his cousin’s. 


Elizabeth—it is most lit 
[Logic and common usage commanding] 

In thy own book thatyfrj/ thy name be writ, 

Zeno and other sages notwithstanding. Etc. 

The poem is signed “Edgar-.” It is unquestionably in Poe’s handwriting, 
but written iu his early days, before he acquired that exquisite chirography 
which characterized his later writings. The paper is stained, and in one cor¬ 
ner is slightly charred, but the poem is unmarred. 


Another Unpublished Manuscript Poem, by Poe. 



Poe, Edgar A. An acrostic (without title), spelling the 
name “Elizabeth.’’ 


Elizabeth, it is in vain you say 


“ Love not ”—thou says’t it so sweet a way. Etc. 

The poem is written on a stained and slightly charred leaf that has evidently 
been cut out of an "Autograph Album.” It is thorouhly Poe-esque in its 
delicate imagery, it classic grace, and quaint turns of expression, it is signed 
“E. A. P. the handwriting, though apparently of an early period, approxi¬ 
mates that of his later years. 


Neither of these two acrostics has ever appeared in any of Poe’s works, and 
it is believed they have never been published.

Butthi’ee copies of AL AARAAF have been offered at auction during the 
last thirty years or more, this being one of them, so that it seems to be as 
rare as TAMERLANE, of which only three copies are known in America, 
and one in the British Museum. 


The copy now offered is of unique and extraordinary interest. The fac¬ 
simile of the title page shows the date printed as 1820, instead of 1829, the 
actual year ot publication. The facsimile of p. 3 shows that it was a presen¬ 
tation copy from the poet to.his favorite Cousin Elizabeth. What more prob¬ 
able than that the young author stood by the press as the first copy of the 
final sheet (usually that with the title page) was run off, and hurried with a 
set ot the sheets to the binder, and had him put them into covers of delicate 
pink cloth—the edition was issued in boards, with pale blue paper wrappers— 
the best his straitened purse could afford, and with all the pride of author¬ 
ship sped on his way to lay his offering at the feet of the fair Elizabeth ? And 
all before the error in the imprint was discovered. 

But of still greater interest is the fact that this identical copy was used by 
Poe in getting out the 1831 edition of his Poems, that published in New York. 
All through the book, in his unmistakable chirography, are scores of his own 
corrections and alterations, the latter invariably for the better. Some 
changes which lie made tentatively he ultimately rejected. Seldom have the 
workings of a great author’s mind been shown as strikingly as in this thin, 
shabby, dingy little volume, with its numerous marginal markings in pen or 
pencil. Here was his workshop, and in the crucible of his genius we see the 
pure gold, the product of his marvelous pen, again and again refined. 

Another quaint and curious touch is the handiwork of the printer. On an 
upper margin of one page he has figured the probable size of the new volume : 

25 p. 

Other Juveniles 7 


32 p. 

The “ takes ” apportioned to “ Richard ” and “ Moran,” the two compositors 
who evidently comprised the staff of the piintery, are carefully marked with 
their names, and “Richard” and “Moran” have painstakingly signed their 
work when “set up,” and have figured out the number of lines put in type 
Their grimy fingermarks are still impressed on the paper, so that the book 
bears not only traces of the author’s work, but of the printers’ as well. For 
greater convenience of handling, the printers have partly taken the volume 
apart, and two of the half-titles have been lost, but these have been supplied 
from another copy, so that the book is perfect, as appears by the collation 
above.

the book was printed in 32s, although 8vo in size. In 
Ingram’s Poe bibliography this item is described as 4to, “ in 
the ‘Novelist’s Newspaper.’” Woodbury and Stedman, 
and Sabin, following Ingram, merely described it as 4to. 
Neither gives the number of pages, and evidently had not 
seen it. 

964 Poe, Edgar A. Burton’s Gentleman’s Magazine. 
Edited by William E. Burton and Edgar A. Poe. Volume 
V. From July to December. [Cuts.] Philadelphia. 
Published by William E. Burton, Dock street, opposite the

Vol. V. contains fifteen illustrations, including lithograph 
portrait of Richard Penn Smith, and Interior of Barrett’s 
Gymnasium, Walnut street, Philadelphia. It lacks En¬ 
graved Emblematical Frontispiece and East Front of the 
Capitol at Washington City. Vol. VI. contains a plate of 
Cruikshank’s illustrations, also steel plate of Mr. Vandeuhoff 
as Adrastus; Miss Vandenlioff as Juliet; “ UnderclifF, the

Bryaut, and View of Stonehenge ; also mezzotint by Sar- 
tain, “The April Fool.” The green covers for. January 
and June, 1840, are bound in. 

In Volume VI. appeared six installments of “ The Journal 
of Julius Rodman,’’ which was not reprinted until it ap¬ 
peared in Ingram’s edition of Poe’s Works, New York and 
London, 1885, Vol. IV. 

Copies of Burton’s Magazine seldom turn up in as good condition as these 
two volumes. 


965 Morrell, Capt. Benjamin, Jun. A Narrative of Four 
Voyages, to the South Sea, North and South Pacific Ocean, 
Chinese Sea, Ethiopic and Southern Atlantic Ocean, Indian 
and Antarctic Ocean. From the Year 1822 to 1831. 

New York: Printed and published by J. & J. Harper. 
1832. 8vo. Pp. (6), 492. Steel portrait of Captain Mor- 
rel, by Gimber & Dick. Cloth. (Foxed.) 

“The detailed account of the South Sea,” in Poe’s Arthur Cordon Pym, “is 
taken almost textually from Morrell’s Voyages.” See Woodberry’s Poe, p. 
106. This applies to about ten pages of Pym, or the greater part of Chapters 
XIV and XV. The volume is quite scarce, largely because it is sought by Poe 
collectors. 

966 Poe, Edgar A. The Conchologists First Book: A 
System of Testaceous Malacology, Arranged expressly for 
the use of Schools, in which the Animals, according to 
Cuvier, are given with the Shells, a great number of new 
species added, and the whole brought up as accurately as 
possible, to the present condition of the science. Second 
Edition. With illustrations of two Imndred and fifteen shells , 
presenting a correct type of each genus. Philadelphia: 
Published for the author, by Has well, Barrington, and 
Haswejl, and for sale by the principal book-sellers in the 
United States, 1840. 

121110. pp. 166. Half roan, boards, with title on front 
cover, green paper. Plates not colored. 

Although the First Edition was issued in 1839, and the Second in 1810, the 
latter is not from the same type, but has been reset throughout, the varia¬ 
tions for the first two or three pages being merely literal or typographical, 
but thereafter showing changes in the text.. 



967 Brown, Thomas. The Elements of Conchology ; or, 
Natural History of Shells, according to The Linnean 
System. With observations on modern arrangements. 
Illustrated with nine coloured engravings. London, 1816. 
8vo. pp. (8), 168. Nine full-page colored plates. 

This is understood to have formed the basis of Poe’s “ Conchologists First 
Book,” but the latter contains a great deal more matter, as the type is much 
smaller, while the type pages Of the two books are of the same size. The first 
four plates are practically the same, but the other plates in Poe’s book con¬ 
tain t\yp hqndred and twelve cuts, to thirty-six in Brown’s. 



968 Brown, Captian Thomas. The Conchologists Text- 
Book, Embracing the Arrangements of Lamarck and 
Linnaeus, with a Glossary of Technical Terms. Ilhistrated 
by nineteen engravings on steel. Glasgow: Archibald Ful- 
larton & Co. MDCCCXXXIII. i2mo, pp. 180. Nine¬ 
teen full-page plates , not colored. Half calf. 


This book is of the same size and type as Poe’s, and some of the introduc¬ 
tory of the Jailer closely follow s the former. Poe’s arrangement and classifi¬ 
cation differ from Captain Brown’s, and but four of the steel plates are alike. 



Poe, Edgar A. Tales of the Grotesque and Arabesque. 
In two volumes. Philadelphia: Lea and Blanchard, 1840.

Perfectly clean and fresh, in the original brown cloth binding, with paper 
title-labels on the back. Very seldom found in such good condition. This is 
the first edition of his tales. Prefixed to Vol. II. arefourpages of commenda¬ 
tory notices from prominent writers and newspapers of the day.

PREFACE. 


l 

Romance who loves to nod and sing 
With drowsy head and folded wing 
Among the green leaves as they shake 
Far down within some shadowy lake 
To me a painted paroquet 
Hath been—a most familiar bird— 
Taught me my alphabet to say— 

To lisp my very earliest word 
While in the wild wood I did lie 
A child—with a most knowing eye. 

2 

Of late, eternal Condor years 
So shake the very air on high 
With tumult, as they thunder by, 

I hardly have had time for cares 
Thro’ gazing on th’ unquiet sky' 

And, when an hour with calmer wings 
Its down upon my spirit flings— 

That little time with lyre and rhyme 
,To while away—forbidden things! 

My heart would feel to be a crime 
Did it not tremble with the strings!

nam, pp. 16. Type page, x 6^4 inches. Black cloth. 

This copy is very neat and fresh in condition. It has apparently belonged 
to Po'*, as it has a number of pencil notes in his handwriting in the margins, 
making verbal changes, and in some cases whole sentences are written in. 
Here are some instances: P. 27, 4th line from bottom, dele “as.” P. 29, 4th line 
from top, dele “to-night5th line from bottom, substitute a period for the 
second ? mark. All through the book, dele “ir” in “irradiated,” and "ir¬ 
radiation.” P. 54,6th line from bottom, change “equally” to “ equably.” P. 
60, 10th line from top, after “straight line,” and before the dash, insert, “join¬ 
ing it, the atom, and any point within the sphere.” P.62, 7th line, for “cir¬ 
cumference” read “surface.” P.74,add the foot-note, “ When this work went 
to press it was not definitely ascertained that Neptune had a ring.” P. 76, for 
“eight,” in 12th and 13th lines from the top, read “nine.” After the word 
“others,” in the 15th line, insert an asterisk, and at the bottom of the page 
add the foot-note: “An additional asteroid has been discovered since the 
book went to press.” P. 94. 4th line, change “ sixteen ” to “ seventeen,” and 
also in the 6th line in p. 97, and p. 104. 2d line. P. 110, 5th and 4th lines from 
bottom, dele “a great circle of.” P. 118. 7th line from top, the word “nebu 
losity ” has been changed to “visibility,” and then the alteration has been 
erased. P.140, 14th line, for “dreams” read “thoughts.” There are correc¬ 
tions and alterations on fifty-eight of the one hundred and forty-three pages. 

It is well known that “Eureka” was a great favorite with its author, far- 
more so than with the public, and be fondly hoped to issue a new edition. It 
would seem not unlikely that this copy rvas annotated by him with that ob¬ 
ject in view. At all events, it is extremely interesting as having been used by 
the gifted writer, and as showing the care and precision with which he revised 
his works.

which is doubtful. 

This exceedingly popular poem in France, describing the piety of a parrot 
brought up in the saintly atmosphere of a convent at Nevers, and how he 
fell from grace by reason of bad company on a voyage to edify the Nuns at 
Nantes, and sadly shocked his guests by the language aquired on the way, 
was first published in 1734. Some persons with a weird imagination have 
surmised that Poe’s ltaven was inspired by this trifling bit of facetiae. Hence 
the place of these two editions of Vert-Vert in this collection. 

978 Poe, Edgar A. Graham’s Magazine for 1845. Con¬

Editeur 1884. Uncut, stiff wrappers. 8vo. Pp. xxxii, 382. 

The portrait of Poe is as curious as a Frenchman’s idealization rather than 
an actual likeness. The ten etchings, the two heliogravures, and the por¬ 
trait, are all brilliant impressions. Pp. xxxii contains Bandelair6s admirable 
and appreciative essay. Edgar Poe, Sa vie et ses oeuvres. 


Poe, Edgar A. Edgar Poe. Nouvelles Histoires Extraordi- 
uaries traduites par Charles Baudelaire Edition illustree de

cut, stiff wrappers. Pp. (1), xix. Notes nouvelles sur Edgar 
Poe. By Baudelaire. 

The thirteen engravings in this second volume are even more striking than 
those in the first, and the artists seem to have caught the author’s ideas to a 
marvellous degree. The heliogravures of Le Chat Noir and of Le Puits el le 
Pendule, are fully as well calculated to give one the horrors as Poe’s tales 
so entitled. The tinted heliogravure, Silence, is another masterly interpreta¬ 
tion, that illustrating Le Diable Sans le Beffroi has all the exuberant gl'Otes 
querie of the story itself. 

The front cover of each volume has a miniature portrait of “ Edgar Poe,” 
after the etching in the first volume, surrounded by accessories illustrative 
ot “The Gold Hug.” Both volumes are scarce, and are not noticed in Sted- 
man and Woodberry’s bibliography.

This copy has a fine autograph letter, signed, of the author to John G. 
Whittier, dated New York, June 2, 1885; in reference to his criticism on 
Whittier. “ When a man writes an article, in the least critical, concerning 
a leader of his cra f t,—whom he cherishes with the love and honor which 
you know I entertain for you—he feels as if he were laying hands upon the 
Ark of the Covenant. * * * * To write of you was with me a labor of 
love, no one can ever usurp your place in the hearts of the American people. 
This I tried to express, and all my little talk about technical matters 
seemed to me of minor importance.” Etc.

settlement in 1640 to the present time. . . The price will be 87% cents in

THE 


HISTORY OF HAVERHILL, 


MASSACHUSETTS. 


BY B. L. MIRICK 




There was a time when red men climbed these hills, 

And wandered by these glades, these plains, and rills; 

Or rowed the light canoe along yon river,— 

Or rushed to conflict, armed, with bow and quiver.— 

Or ’neath the forest leaves that o’er them hung, 

They council held, or loud their war-notes sung. 

MS. Poem.

1889 Whittier, John G. Autograph Letter, signed. With 
Initials. 4 pp. 8vo. April 28, 1875. With Autograph 
Visiting Card. 


Fine and interesting letter, speaks of being sick and unable to read proof, 
and says, “ Warren has sent me a new photo., taken when 1 left Boston, It 
is a strong likeness, but it looks stern & firm as il I had been reading the 
Brooklyn trial, and was determined that nobody should have any tempta¬ 
tion to kiss me and tell of it, I think I should be quite safe in the “ City of 
Churches” O dear, I’m really in no joking mood, 1 am nearer sick than 
I’ve been for three years.”

“ 1 am looking over the proof of a new edition of my poems. I see a great 
deal that is wrong in them, but it is too late to mend them to any extent. I 
find all writing very difficult and tiresome.” 

Written after Whittier was eighty years of age. It was the last edition of 
his complete works of which he read proof, 1888, to which he refers in his 
letter.
